This is not the first time that light has been shed on the fatal risks of snapping a selfie. The leading cause of death identified from the reports was drowning, but there were also numerous incidents involving transportation (including being struck by trains), falls, and fires. It's important to note that researchers based their findings off English news outlets' existing coverage of selfie-related deaths, meaning there may be other deaths that occurred within the study's six-year period that either weren't reported or occurred in a non-English speaking country.

Researchers advise the creation of "no-selfie" zones at high-risk areas including bodies of water, mountain peaks and tall buildings. In May, a man in India tried to take a selfie with an injured bear and was mauled to death, the Independent reported.

In 2015, a day after the opening of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge - the third Bosporus bridge - a semi-truck driver was killed after he stopped on the bridge to take a selfie, causing a traffic accident. In September, an Israeli teenager visiting Yosemite National Park in California fell hundreds of feet to his death while trying to take a selfie near the top of an iconic waterfall.
